Orlando Pirates star Patrick Maswanganyi, Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma, FCSB defender, Siyabonga Ngezana and Khanyisa Mayo headline Hugo Broos's Bafana Bafana squad for the upcoming FIFA Series in Algeria.

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos announced the 23-man squad during a press conference held at the SABC headquarters in Johannesburg on Monday, maintaining a bulk of the Bronze medal winners from the recent Africa Cup of Nations.

Bafana kick off their FIFA Series campaign against Andorra at Annaba's 19 May 1956 Stadium on 21 March and will wrap up their trip with an exciting clash against Algeria at Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers on the 26th of March.

Here's how the readers reacted to the "10 Changes As Broos Names Bafana Squad!" story:

"Its an experiment since Sundowns have no local strikers. Our problem is that club bosses seek quick fixes, which suits their clubs. They go for ordinary foreign strikers when we have talent in rural areas. Du Preez and Grobbler should have been included in this experiment," says Soccer Fanatic. 

"Du Preez for the national team? You clearly need to get your head examined. As for Gobbler? He is 37 years old," replies Saavedra.

"Great team. But I believe Broos has become too comfortable with locals. Blom should have been selected instead of Margeman. Thibang Phete in place of Sibisi. Hlongwane should have been there.
